With an extensive range of the latest and most advanced cutting facilities, we can produce bespoke products to customer requirements. We are able to cut almost any flexible, non-metallic textile. In addition, our software enables us to digitise irregular shapes providing excellent material utilisation. This factor combined with the machines’ ability to cut accurately at high speed enables us to ensure competitive pricing.

Cutting Table
This highly versatile machine enables us to produce intricate components without the need for tooling. We are able to receive drawings electronically, and produce accurate parts to customers specifications, quickly and efficiently. This capability also ensures maximum material usage, reducing waste and therefore reducing cost. The table bed is 3M x 2M enabling us to produce large designs, when required.
We can also use this facility for pre-production sampling and prototyping of new parts and adjustments to existing parts.

Gerber®
Using our Gerber® Cutting System and its CNC controls, materials can be processed without tooling by loading CAD Data or drawings and can cut various fabrics including; felt, foam, mesh, vinyl, paper, card & non wovens.
The material is automatically fed from the spreading table (or single-ply roll feeder) to the cutting area. The cutting bed is two metres wide and using the full capacity of the spreading table & feeder can continuously cut parts without halting the process.
The Gerber cutter delivers precisely cut parts consistently, with a high volume output and excellent nesting capabilities we can offer maximum material usage enabling us to reduce costs whilst maintaining high quality standards.

Die-Cutting CNC (Computer Controlled)
We have several die-cutting presses all of which have their own unique benefits and offer us the ability of selecting the best machine for the project. We are able to process both high volume work, cutting millions of washers, strips or discs through to larger components in smaller quantities. There are many deciding factors as to the most suitable machine and we base this decision on type of material, thickness, volume and part dimensions.
This method of cutting uses accurate steel tooling, we will ensure that each tool is produced to customers specification / dimensions and suitable for our cutting presses.

Laminating
We have the facility in-house to laminate any material with various strengths of adhesive tapes or to combine one product to another such as felt to foam, felt to felt and felt to rubber.
These laminated materials can be sold in roll, sheet and coils or can be converted into smaller components using the cutting methods described.

Kiss-Cutting
These computer controlled machines provides us with the ability to offer a wide range of accurately cut adhesive backed parts using a variety of textiles including felt, foam & EPDM. Many people will have encountered difficulties peeling the adhesive backing from their components, however the kiss-cut parts are very user friendly leaving just the component on a backing sheet for easy peeling.
We produce a high number of “sticky dot” type products for a wide range of applications in everyday life. Components cut in this format have also helped to increase manual & robotic productivity in many of our customers production lines due to less time being wasted removing the backing.
With two different kiss-cut machines available each offering a variety of functions, we are able to ensure that the most suitable machine is selected depending upon the application and component shape.

Coil Cutting
The addition of a CNC Coil Cutting machine enables us to offer our customers coils and strips both plain and adhesive backed, to very tight tolerances. We are able to cut almost any flexible roll material such as felt, foam, rubber, cork, adhesive tape and even high-density para-aramide (Kevlar®).
This machine can cut coils widths of just about any width from 5mm through to the full width of the roll.
